I enjoyed this book. To begin with, I sometimes felt like it was a little too Australian, but it really just portrays things the way they are. It's more that there aren't enough genuine Aussie books around, so when you get one, it seems a bit strange. Some parts of the story worked out a little too neatly, but it's a good read with plenty of twists.
The biggest problem - this has since been published under a different title. I ended up with two copies thinking they were different books. ( )

This book was described as 'chick lit'...and to a degree it was. Female lead roles. However, I enjoyed listening to this story and could relate to much of it after spending fifty years on a farm. It's not all about farming and at some points I was thinking 'we could skip that' but was enjoyable. I will look out for more of Rachel Treeasure's books. A three and a half star (for the rural setting) read. ( )
